Please join us for a home tour of Firebird Estates during Modernism Week, showcasing seven uniquely curated units. Built in 1964, Firebird Estates epitomizes Midcentury Modern design against the majestic San Jacinto Mountains backdrop.

This enclave of 30 condo homes embodies the era's ethos of simplicity, functionality and harmony with nature. Each residence features striking rooflines, crisp geometric forms and expansive windows that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, filling the interiors with natural light and offering a journey into midcentury living.

As you step onto the meticulously landscaped grounds, you'll be enveloped in serenity and sophistication. The community boasts communal amenities, including a sprawling swimming pool perfect for relaxation under the desert sun. The original complex had two floor plan designs. Each pod of three units is comprised of two end units and one protruding middle unit. The units range in size from cozy 1,275-square-foot abodes to spacious 1,429-square-foot dwellings, each showcasing Modernist principles tailored for contemporary living.

With its architectural purity and panoramic vistas, Firebird Estates stands as an emblem of Palm Springs' rich architectural legacy, inviting exploration and appreciation for generations to come. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the timeless allure of Midcentury Modern design
